Note to Teachers: If your students are regularly working through these problems as an enrichment activity or center in your classroom, feel free to contact me with your email address (use the contact form on the "about" page), and I can email you to let you know about specific errors or patterns. For example, sometimes a student submits multiple incorrect answers for the same problem, and the error is due to a specific mistake--reading the question incorrectly, or dividing improperly, or some other issue. Your email address will not be shared with others or added to mailing lists.
